A study by Vultus Cybersecurity Ecosystem points out that Brazilian companies will have a loss of US $ 394 billion caused by cyber attacks over the next three years. The projection was made from the analysis of 117 medium and small companies in Brazil from 10 sectors of the economy: financial, retail, health, beauty, industry, services, insurance, mobility, technology and energy.
Considering the impact of attacks on business systems and measuring the likelihood of them occur, the survey has come to the conclusion that 48% of the companies analyzed will suffer high impact attacks by hackers by 2028.
To calculate the total damage, Vultus cybersecurity ecosystem used two variables:
- The average cost for breach of companies from companies in Brazil according to IBM: R $ 1.36 million (about R $ 8 million);
- and the amount of averages (466,758) and large companies (140,583), according to Economata.
The total amount of companies multiplied by the average cost of a cyber attack and weighted by the percentage of companies that must suffer with hackers reaches the amount of US $ 394 billion (about $ 2.2 trillion).
“All companies are subject to cyber attacks. This is a consensus on the market, as well as being evident in the simplest invasion tests. What is most concerned with high impact attacks – and we focus our study on them because, in most cases, vulnerabilities are totally unknown by the company, they are residual risks that no one has an idea that they are just expecting an attacker to find, explore and paralyze a whole business for the day,” Alexandre explains a day for the day, “explains Alexandre for the day for the day,” explains Alexandre for a day for the day for the day for the day for the day for the day for the day for the day for the day for the day for the day for the day for the day for the day for the day for Brum, Vultus head of operations.
